City Creek, Hogle Zoo and Liberty Park

We took the train downtown with Pasquale and Pete to see the City Creek Center for the first time.  (Megan stayed home with a sick Liliana).  We had lunch together and walked around for a while - it turned out to be a pretty hot day, so after we met up with Brian and Alisha, we went inside to the food court where they had a children's play area and of course, a place to get ice cream.

The kids had a blast running around and climbing on things together!

The next day was a cousin event at Hogle Zoo!  Here's the group, climbing on a rhino - I think??  

The two little heads belong to Presley and Avery looking through the glass at the awesome polar bear.  You could see above and below the water and he gave us a fantastic show filled with numerous flips and jumps in and out of the water!

Hanging out with the giraffes and admiring the beautiful tiger.

One of the last things we did was head to the carousel.  The kids wanted to keep riding it and riding it, picking different animals to sit on each time of course - so fun!

 

Here we are at Liberty Park on the last night before Megan and family left to go home.  Swimming suits, picnic dinner, and even a balloon maker?!?

Wow, isn't this the most adorable picture ever?  Liliana was finally feeling a little better after several days of yucky fever and blah.  What sweet moms and baby girls!

We were so sad to say goodbye, but sooo happy that our trip to Utah overlapped a little with the Melinos visit!  We love love love them!
